It’s your Wonkette Wednesday Canadian Politics Roundup! Let’s see, what’s going on up there… ahh, this lady, Danielle Smith of Alberta’s “Wildrose” party, appears to have wheels for boobs as her bus art, instead of the typical flapjack-on-the-head graphic. “We’re getting it adjusted right now since it will be a distraction throughout the campaign,” a party spokesperson reassures. Endless distraction? We doubt the media would ever get distracted by something like this.
Shannon Stubbs, the party spokesperson, has had a good larf or two over the press attention, telling the National Post, “We do think that if this is the absolute worst thing to go wrong in the campaign, then that’s not too bad… We’ve been having a bit of laugh because of the attention it’s been getting. Somebody suggested we submit a picture into Leno or Letterman to get international attention, as well as the national coverage we’ve been getting.”
What fun! Letterman! Everyone’s having so much fun. Yes, everyone…
“These stories continue to reinforce stereotypes about women… they tend to focus on women’s’ bodies instead of focusing on what women bring to the table in terms of their competencies,” said Clare Beckton, executive director of Carleton University’s Centre for Women in Politics and Public Leadership in Ottawa. [...]
“The media itself is as much responsible for this kind of behaviour — the media continues to write stories and support stories of this kind,” Beckton said.
The media?? Crap, she’s talking about us — EVERYBODY SCRAM–

Are the boobs from Chik-fil-A?
I doubt it. They look too tender.
Depends on how many hormones were injected into them.
They're from Canadian Tire, eh?
She's got a nice set of lugs!
Finished changing the tire? Remember to take the jack off.
How can you tell if you need to change the tire? Would she be flat chested?
Morning Mem!
I like how you cleverly use "morning coffee" to mean "fresh mimosa."
That's 2! You're on a roll.
Now I'm craving Baconz on a roll. I'll give you $500.00 to bring me one, please.
Try bacon on a croissant. Man oh man did that work for me
Because of the sheer size of her rims, her wheels need to be balanced and rotated periodically.
And in Alberta it's going to be cold, too, with predictable results.
I'd hit it. [spit] Is that the famous Bang Bus?
I dunno, but I wouldn't mind giving her whitewalls, if you know what I mean…
How come she's only wearing one pastie?
Now that's funny!!! You're a good observer.
I think the one on the right is an "innie" and the one on the left is an "outie." I think inverted nipples are kind of rare. Especially in chrome.
To get her nipples hard, you need a gas station air pump.
Pasties are surprisingly tricky to work with.
Not that *I* would know, of course…
She threw it under the bus.
I'd hit that bus.
Wait a minute…
Oh wow. Snarking this is like shooting fish in a barrel. Or boobs on a bus….
We're all boobies on this bus.
Danielle Smith of Alberta’s “Wildrose” party
Really? They named their party after a bum wine?
Oh Canada! Don't ever change…
Alberta is the "Wild Rose Province". Just like Manitoba is the "Thunderbird" province and Nunavit is the "Antifreeze Territory".
Does that make BC the Sterno Province?
Pretty good for a Yank!
[Plus New Brunswick is the "Rotgut Distilled in the Garage from 8-pound Sacks of Fermented McCain French Fries Province" and Québec is "La Provence de: Quelle sorte? Je m'en câlisse. Moé, J'en ai besoin, là."]
—
Which would leave the Maritimes and….
…wait for it….
Ripple
BC is more into the bud. They grow some mean-assed shit in the Okanogan Valley.
They also have a pretty decent microbrew industry, so when they get around to legalizing the bud, you're gonna see some pretty amazing synergy when the two industries start to co-mingle.
Saskatchewan – The Starlight Tours Province.
Well, she's gotten her international media. Right here on the Wonkett.
I'm sure she'd prefer a different kind of exposure.
I know I would.
It appears she's getting just the right kind..
NEEDZ MOAR HOCKEY SCOREZ!!!!
Oh, and Clare is so fucking uptight you couldn't drag a needle out of her sphincter with a tractor. Lighten up! At least y'all can still take the pill.
Gives new meaning to "pneumatic." Or maybe the same meaning.
But there is always a catch.
In other news of Canuckistan, "Tory MP Stephen Woodworth wants Parliament to create a committee of politicians whose task it will be to review a law that stops short of defining unborn children as “human beings.” The war on Uteri has spread to the north!
Actually, they've always had their religious right up there, only with Canada's smaller population, it's only 1/10 the size of ours, and more polite.
Clare Beckton clearly does not comprehend that taking note of a woman whose rack spins at 65 MPH/105 KPH (metric system sweater puppies!) is a legitimate sign of respect.
And the wheels on the boobs go round and round, round and round…
I never tire of boobs.
Oh, fucking well played. Christ. I tip my hat to you. Well, I'm not dressed yet, so I guess I sort of just flashed the screen.
The boobs on the bus go 'round and 'round…
Wait a second, that's not right.
The boobs on the bus bounce up and down,
Up and down, up and down.
The boobs on the bus bounce up and down,
All day long.
HA! Beat you to it!
Soros, kinda makes you wonder what's at the back of the bus, eh?
The fucking on the bus goes in and out, in and out, in and out…
It's, …."All through the town."
We’re getting it adjusted right now since it will be a distraction throughout the campaign
Good thing. Put a hubcap on the back tire, or it just looks weird.
Nice rack and pinion.
or
Tires or GTFO!
ow
Show us your trucknutz!
(Maybe busnutz? Is that even a thing?)
I once Buss-ed a nut…
I thought that was Michele Bachmann for a moment. But then, I noticed "no crazy eyes."
But plenty of stock, right-wing crazy positions on the issues. The resemblance is remarkable.
Chrome Boobs=Crazy Eyes…
That was what I thought last night when I saw this story on Olbermann.
I believe that in the Oglala Sioux language "Danielle Smith" means "Shiny Chrome Boobs".
Not "Buses With Boobs"?
They still have politics in Canada? I thought they had got their shit together years ago, and the state had just faded away.
Counter-revolutionary activity by the Kulaks.
So, blood-bath purge ahead?
Well let's just say that some people might become a bit dizzy with success when the NDP takes control.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collectivization_in_…
Keep in mind this is Alberta, Canada's answer to Texas/Oklahoma/Arizona.
Thanks for the alt-text LOL, seriously.
I could tell they were fake.
If I can touch 'em… they're not fake.
That's gotta be some terribly painful underwire in that Madonna bra.
I wouldn't mind slapping some lug nuts on those.
“These stories continue to reinforce stereotypes about women… they tend to focus on women’s’ bodies instead of focusing on what women bring to the table in terms of their competencies,” said Clare Beckton, executive director of Carleton University’s Centre for Women in Politics and Public Leadership in Ottawa.
Not to mention that they select quotes that reinforce joyless stereotypes of heads of Centres for Women in Politics, and people from Ottawa.
How many Women's Studies majors does it take to change a lightbulb?
THAT'S NOT FUNNY!
There's a variation on that one I've always liked:
How many Women's Studies majors does it take to change a lightbulb?
[Scowl, pound the table:] One!
Her wardrobe malfunctions involve screaming and police and (socialized!) health care.
At my age I am way more focused on “what women bring to the table” over my earlier more body centric focus. As much as I still like boobs a nice pie or cobbler can’t be beat!
Especially if you eat it off a pair of boobs.
She's not going to show her pie
Man, I'd like to jack those up…
Boobies! They are the only purely good thing on earth. There is nothing bad about boobies!
Not enough?
Man boobies?
"These stories continue to reinforce stereotypes about women… they tend to focus on women’s’ bodies…"
Sigh. It's a bleak world where we can't snicker like twelve year olds about boobs, but we have to do what's right. Before I start acting all grown up and stuff just let me attach some tassels to the wheels and watch them spin around a little while I giggle. After that, no more. I swear.
The boobs on the bus go round and round….
Hey future 51st state: In America we put our boobs in the bus!
USA! USA! USA!
I remember when "The Bare Naked Ladies" could not play in Toronto, because their name "objectified women." (Yeah, if you're a first grade boy!)
As the old joke goes… Q: How many members of the Centre for Women in Politics and Public Leadership in Ottawa does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
A: That's not funny.
"These stories continue to reinforce stereotypes about women". Uh, men have boobs, too.
After knee surgery, I lost 46 lbs. Now my boobs are smaller than the wife's.
This reminds me of the Land O' Lakes butter carton, where people with 'way too much time on their hands can do a little cutting and folding and produce an Indian maiden showing her all.
I was going to write "a topless Indian maiden" but if you do it right she certainly has a nice top – a peach of a pair!
Jim: I hope you guys thought long and hard about this Post. Wonkette is still to blame for bringing Duh Gov'Nuh to national attention. Is Danielle Smith next up?
John McCain mocked Obama's energy policy as merely "telling people to keep their boobs inflated"
Do the spinnies go in opposite directions too??
“'The media itself is as much responsible for this kind of behaviour — the media continues to write stories and support stories of this kind,'” Beckton said."
Along with being a major league buzzkill, Carleton University's Ms. Beckton's grammer skills need a bit of work. "Media are" – "medium is."
Medium? What do they have a bunch psychics on this?
The great Ernie Kovacs (who would be much better known today if more of his shows had survived) said "Television is a 'medium' because nothing on it is rare and nothing on it is well done."
If he saw what passes for television entertainment today, Ernie would be considered a "medium".
Meh, that battle's lost. All the data is in on that one.
(ducks)
Whatever happened to the use of "collective nouns"? Is that just for us olds now?
Yes, Grandfather.
figures.
ttug:
We don't need your Communist, socialist, Marxist grammar here – none of that "collective" shit. OK?
Found out! Yoicks!
I don't think Victoria's Secret carries bras in Double Radial size.
I think you'd be looking for Goodyear's Secret anyway.
I knew there was something familiar about the shape of that blimp.
Carrie Snow used to say she had the same bra size as a Corvette.
Not only are her
boobswheels out there for everyone to see… she wears a pearl necklace.Oh, great, boobs are hypnotic enough, and now they SPIN?!? No fair.
It doesn't take much, does it? I mean, she's wearing a blouse, so the tits allusion doesn't even make sense. Now if her picture had been topless, that would've been something.
Beckton? Where have I heard that name before?
Bend it Like?
Thread won! (Although that spelling was "Becton") (she could have changed it — she was weird)
Here is a case of being thrown under the bus I wouldn't mind at all.
Gives a whole new meaning to titty twister…
A full set of spiked-helmet hubcaps on those wheels would be just the sort of kinky thrill loved by all Alberta farmers… think about it, Ms. Smith!
Those are definitely not low profile tires and I refuse to believe this was an accident. Those sly northern snow bunnies are a clever lot.
Somebody pass a law and give Clare Beckton the trans-vag ultrasound she so depserately craves!
Casabas are SO much sexier.
“We’re getting it adjusted right now since it will be a distraction throughout the campaign. From now on, we will no longer be having Danielle take off her shirt at campaign events to prove that her breasts are not actually shaped like bus tires. This will definitely allow us to get back to the important issues of the campaign."
The purpose of a campaign ad is to draw the attention of viewers. A masterpiece, this. Leave it alone and win.
The boobs on the bus go round and round round and round
The boobs on the bus go round and round
So vote for wheel boobs lady . . .
Lol
I think she sets a poor example for women, inflating them like that.
HILARIOUS!
Hey, that's the best story ever on Wonkette. Really. It almost made me forget that the price of gasoline is $4.11 a gallon and rising.
Show us your tires!
Baconz, did you know that some Taco Bell restaurants are serving breakfast now? It's a great way to start your morning out with ice cold diarrhea.
I love mexican food….That's why I don't eat at Toke-a-bowl.
Taco Cabana!
Bud Beer? I think that's already been done.
